MIT Presidency worse than feared
MIT Presidency worse than feared
08/27/2004 01:40 PMCatching up on the mail I read through the latest Technology
Review, MIT's alumni magazine. Things are far worse than
feared. One letter calculates the cost of the $283 million
new computer science building as $17 million in 1916
dollars. The main buildings, which are enormous by comparison,
were completed in 1916 at a cost of $7 million.
Much more depressing than the backwards slide of the American
construction industry in terms of efficiency is an article about Chuck
Vest's 14 years running MIT. The article touches briefly on
Vest's achievements in increasing research funds between 1990 and
2003, which sound very impressive due to the lack of
inflation-adjustment (the actual increase in 2003 dollars was from
$430 million to $472 million). Nothing having to do with
innovation in research or education is mentioned. If the article
is accurate, Vest's major focuses turned out to have been
- fighting with the Federal Government over MIT's price-fixing
arrangement with the Ivy League colleagues. This agreement was
predicted to be illegal by Stanford, which refused to join the cartel,
and deemed illegal by a Federal District Court Judge but we ultimately
beat the rap in the Court of Appeals (see my
tuition-free MIT article for more)
- studying the extent to which female faculty members had less lab
space than male faculty members and whether this was due to
discrimination
- pursuing sex- and race-based discrimination in student admissions
and faculty recruitment and promoting such discrimination nationwide
in briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court in affirmative action
cases
I guess Phil Sharp, the Nobel Prize-winning biologist who turned
the job down is feeling pretty good about his decision to stay in the
lab.
The only encouraging news in the magazine concerned Erika Ebbel,
MIT Class of 2004 in Chemistry, who as Miss Massachusetts will
compete in the Miss America pageant on September 18.
